Stewart Williams, the manager of Timpson, above, said he was happy to help Liberty’s friends.

He said: “I actually drove down the road where Liberty died just five minutes earlier and it gives me the shivers just thinking about it.

“A young lady came into the shop and asked me about a plaque in Liberty’s memory. It normally costs about £40 but I told her not to worry about the cost because in these circumstances it’s not about the money.”

More memorials could be funded by local charity Oxfordshire West Food Bank, which launches the first of its monthly community cafe events on July 28.

Jo Cypher, 40, who runs the food bank, said: “I’m an old scholar at Henry Box where Liberty went to school and I’m an old-fashioned sort of person who will help out whenever I can.

"Our community cafe events will run on the last Monday of every month at the pavilion on the Leys in Witney and we decided to donate our takings from the first event to Liberty’s friends so they can pay for memorials.

“I have messaged her friends and told them we are well prepared and ready to help them out.”
